<div>I know it's not a democracy and it's 100% up to the devs - but I'll vote anyway ;-) I am drawn to Myth because it's leading-edge. I'd much rather compile my own QT4 and have Myth be as good as it can possibly be, rather than compromise because we're accomodating the lowest-common denominator. I had to roll my own ffmpeg to make the mythweb flash player work (the version that came in my distro didn't play nice) and I was delighted to do that to have that additional functionality.</div>
<br>My Myth server is also a generalised server for me, but I don't think a custom QT would affect very many other things. So - I say go for as advanced a QT as possible now and let's look to the future not the past.</div>
